Child, come a running Child, come a running You woke up to the gun shots on the news Run for your shoes, lace up, wake up, listen to the blues Sidewalk chalk promises rainbows ahead But the storm's pouring down, colours blur-out instead You used to watch cartoons But all the riots in the news call you to grow up too soon Run, run, run the race Run, run, take your place Run, run, keep the pace Run, run, run the race Run, run, run the race Run, run, take your place Run, run, keep the pace Run, run, run the race Serve and protect, go their knee on the neck Sometimes, this weight, so hard to breathe. No respect From the ones we're supposed to look to for help Everyone's pointing fingers we should look to ourselves Sin deep within, revealed at every whim Each of us victims and villians of every colour of skin Run, run, run the race Run, run, take your place Run, run, keep the pace Run, run, run the race Run, run, run the race Run, run, take your place Run, run, keep the pace Run, run, run the race They want you pick up their white flag and give up But it's time to live up to that hashtag, cuz we're sick of Them being treated sub-human, no few men Have been duped and bruised from the beatings For walking around with a hood and Assumed to be suspicious. But their just kids Who're living with this stigma like a sickness Man this is vicious So pick up your dignity, pick up your sign East to West are rising up and swelling like the tide We're singing for the black lives, no more white lies Let's turn back time, oh, oh When the whole dream began and amens were sung What if the victory came to our own generation What if we could tell of this to the generations to come Run run run run till we reach that table as one Run, run, run the race Run, run, take your place Run, run, keep the pace Run, run, run the race Run, run, run the race Run, run, take your place Run, run, keep the pace Run, run, run the race Run, run, run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
